You Are Amazing

by Juva Barber BIA Executive Vice President On February 19 I will have officially been working for the BIA of Greater Louisville for 90 days – in other words I’ll be an official employee.

I’m delighted. I’m honored. I’m proud. I’m humbled. I’m fully aware of responsibility I have accepted. And while I’m not usually at a loss for words – I’m struggling with what to say in my first letter to you.

Not because this letter doesn’t matter, but because it matters so much. The Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville is an incredible organization. From humble beginnings of 18 founding members to our current membership of more than 2,000 companies in the construction industry, this organization and its members are amazing.

You are amazing because of your commitment to the industry. You attend educational sessions to get updates on important topics like Building Codes and energy efficiency.

You come to meetings to discuss land development policies that impact the industry.

You dedicate countless hours to develop solutions to issues that, if left unaddressed, will impact the industry for years to come.

You are amazing because of your commitment to the organization. Not only do you regularly attend BIA events, but you sponsor them as well. You advertise in BIA publications. You exhibit at the Home, Garden, and Remodeling Show and Homearama.

You are proud to embrace the Registered Builder and Registered Remodeler programs – and have made these professional designations the best in the country.

You are amazing because of your commitment to the community. From donating time, talent, and treasure to major community enhancements like the Miracle League to working on smaller projects like a wheelchair ramp, you give back to the community. You also fight to protect access to affordable housing, reminding local, state, and national officials that every additional requirement placed on a home during development or construction increases the cost of a home.

Your commitment to the BIA shows how important this organization is to you – and it is important to me. I take this position seriously and I am committed to ensuring we take all the necessary steps together to ensure this organization is relevant for the next 70 years.

A Twist on Traditional

By Nancy Miller

Several new features and enhancements are planned for the 71st annual Home, Garden & Remodeling Show, the largest, longest running, locally-owned home show in the region. About 350 vendors are expected to participate and transform the nearly 7 acres of event space.

An expanded local artisan market is expected to be a major draw as there is a burgeoning interest in works created by an amazing community of area craftsmen and purveyors. The Show will offer an opportunity to meet local artisans, view their work and purchase their one-of-a-kind creations.

Attendees to the Show have returned year after year to interact with exhibitors and to learn more about specific products and services. This year’s event promises an even greater display of the latest trends and technology and myriad vendors for the home and garden, all of whom are eager to share their expertise.

The 2019 Home, Garden & Remodeling Show will introduce new features such as:

make purchases on-site from these exhibitors. Think of this enhancement to the show as a one-of-a-kind retail experience!

Take home something for your home!

- An area of boutiques and individuals that specialize in customizable and unique items for the home and garden.

Seeing will be only part of the fun! Visitors will be able to

The Home, Garden & Remodeling Show returns as Louisville’s premier spot to view and walk through spectacular garden/ outdoor living areas. Relaxing, dining and entertaining outdoors

- A lively and instructional DIY Clay Studio where attendees will be invited to make something “home-related.” Guest will be able to make personalized items alongside instructors on the potter’s wheel or choose an item for a “grab and glaze” project.

- “Pick and plant” offerings will give attendees a more personal approach to gardening.

- Entertainment! You’ve heard the phrase, “And, there’s more!”

Never has it been truer than at this year’s Show. “I don’t want to give away any surprises but I’ll say we will have a new aspect to the traditional “entertainment” portion of the Show that will be sure to ‘wow’ guests,” says Ally Adams, BIA Director of Events.

are becoming more integrated into today’s lifestyle. The Show will demonstrate the most imaginative and enjoyable ways to take advantage of an outdoor garden, patio or deck. It will plant the seed (literally!) for beautiful gardens and landscapes and inspire stunning hardscapes.

Guests will again gather around the Home and Garden stage for a variety of seminars conducted by experts in their fields. It will be where “How To” turns into “Let’s Get Started!”

The tiny home craze can be seen on television and in magazines. What’s it all about? Is it only a fad or is it the next big thing (make that little thing) in housing? The majority of opinions may lean to the latter but we predict introduction of the tiny cabin will be a huge hit at the show.

A specially designed Kid’s Area will catch the attention of the younger audience. Families will have the opportunity to decorate their own mini pot and plant a flower seed (just in time for a Mother’s Day bloom!) There will also be the opportunity to view and touch some of the most beautiful and unique specimens in the bug kingdom.

A variety of native tree sapling will be given away at the Show and include information on planting and caring for your tree. Forestry professionals will be on hand to help you select the best tree for your yard or advice on best places to plant your new addition. Taking home a sapling will be the start to refreshing many yards and to spearheading or reinforcing homeowners’ interest in becoming an active player in ecofriendly living.

“The community looks forward to the Home, Garden &

Remodeling Show every year. They want to feel and touch products versus simply looking at them online,” says Scott Welch, of Welch Builders, and President of BIA. He also attributes the interest in the Show to the wide range of exhibitors that represent the many facets involved in building or remodeling a home. And he’s especially enthused about the additional elements that are being added to this year’s home and garden extravaganza.

Louisville Handyman and Remodeling’s Joe French regards the Show as the starting gun for the spring remodeling season.

“People have been pent up in their homes all winter and are chomping at the bit to do something productive or inspiring. We love to participate in the show because we make so many new relationships and start dialogues that down the road can lead to new sales. And it gives us the chance to reconnect with existing customers,” he says. His booth will include many photographs of Louisville Handyman and Remodeling projects as well as the company’s 3D software that enables visitors to envision possible designs.

Andrew Johnson and his company, River Bed Builders, are returning to the show as exhibitors after a very successful participation last year. That will be good news to the families who enjoyed River Bed’s gorgeous fountain and fullyfunctioning koi pond where children could feed the fish and turtle. “We’ll have a koi pond and a pondless waterfall to show some of the things that can be done in a backyard. People are so busy with work and gadgets and all the things that distract them from relaxing that a great backyard can bring them a lot of pleasure. Just having a patio or fire pit can be boring, but having interactive features like a koi pond or fountainscape draw everyone outside.”

Louisville Generators will be one of the many companies that provides important advice in addition to displaying products. “We’ll have two different size generators and will answer any questions attendees may have about generators.

We’ll talk with them about the types of generators they need for any situation and we’ll cover what’s involved in installation,” says Hobert McGuire.

Roy Mills of KY Barnwood Kennels is also eager to return as an exhibitor, saying, “Most people didn’t realize that a product of our offering exists until they met us at the Show. We offer very unique and customizable kennels equipped with lighting and endless color options for the finish. The amount of attention we received was unbelievable and led to immediate sales and future orders. Both of our sons, our German Shepherd and our Chihuahua will join us in our booth again this year. For us, it’s a real family affair.”

+ A Partnership That’s Changing Lives

By Nancy Miller YouthBuild Louisville assists at risk young people in meeting life goals by providing services in education, vocational training, community service, case management, placement, and postgraduation support. It’s an exceptional program that helps many participants learn skills of the building trades, hopefully guiding them toward future careers in the industry.

BIA partners with YouthBuild Louisville on a number of projects that are having significant impact on individuals and the community. One of the most visible is the annual Playhouse

10 Digital Version Available at BIALouisville.com

Project that builds playhouses for special needs children. Builder Rob Eberenz became involved with YouthBuild during the construction of the first playhouse. His latest connection with YouthBuild was initiated by Teresa Morgan of Semonin Realtors.

“Teresa asked me to become part of a YouthBuild mentoring project. She was planning to use a book that has become very important to her as the basis for the curriculum,” Eberenz recounts.

For about the last 20 years, one of Morgan’s goals was to

encourage people to live by Earl Nightingale’s book, “The Strangest Secret”. She explains, “God allowed me to succeed in real estate so that I can change young people’s lives.” She divided BIA’s YouthBuild mentoring program into six sections and recruited leaders for each section.

Mark Simpson of Simpson Builders and his son, Clay, kicked off the series with a presentation that focused on the importance of having a passion for one’s work. “If you enjoy what you do, you’ll do it well. If you do it well, that leads to success,” says Simpson.

Pinnacle Properties founder John Miranda and Louis Warren of Warren Electric took on the topic of goal setting.

“We talked to the students about short- and long-term goals. Louis shared his past and how he has had to overcome obstacles to move forward. We wanted them to understand that not everyone has a straight, clear path with no bumps.

Sometimes there might even be cliffs,” says Miranda.

“God allowed me to succeed in real estate so that I can change young people’s lives.”

- Teresa Morgan Amos Martin of Amos Martin Construction and Darryl Davis, who is involved with prison ministry, agreed to tackle the subject of failure and recovery.

“For the subject of ‘Willing to Pay the Price,’ I gave my life story and shared my thoughts and frustrations, as well as those of many in our business who had to go through the economic downtown. I got choked up at one point. I think the students saw that I was sincere about being open with them,” says Eberenz.

Morgan and her friend, football player Lukayus McNeil, instilled the series with great positivity through their talk, “Believe You Can Succeed.”

Michelle Krebs of GlaxoSmithKline concluded by accentuating the book’s most relevant messages, including the advice that success isn’t easy, but hope will drive one through difficult times.

“It was unbelievable how much work the builders put into their presentations and the amount of joy they received,” says Morgan. Miranda believes YouthBuild is a great way for BIA members to give back to individuals and the community in a way that benefits the building industry. “We’re trying to help kids overcome obstacles and connect to meaningful jobs that can help them straighten out their lives.”

WOMEN of the Building Industry

This month Louisville Builder continues our series featuring influential women in our industry.

Lindsey Jagoe Shares Insight and Advice

By Nancy Miller

Being a member of a family business poses particular challenges and opportunities. Lindsey Jagoe, regional sales manager for Jagoe Homes in Louisville and the surrounding counties, experiences them every day. “There are many family members who work in the company. We’re all very hard workers, which is probably to our detriment, at times. Conversations after work are about work. In a way, we don’t get a break, but we all enjoy living and breathing it and learning. It’s a really good work environment, but it can get intense,” she says.

She especially likes being on construction sites and “watching land turn into homes.” On the sales side, she’s excited by interacting with customers and seeing how her company is improving people’s lives by providing them a home they may have been wanting for years. It’s also rewarding for her to watch a community grow from the first home that’s built in a development.

Expressing the belief that it sometimes can be tough to be a woman in any industry, she values her undergraduate minor in women’s studies. Even so, she relates that working in a highly male-dominated business is, at times, intimidating. Helping her deal with that has been her family and BIA.

She’s at the forefront of changes in the home building industry, saying the biggest change she has seen is the trend toward smaller lots and homes. Also, she thinks home builders, out of necessity, are becoming smarter about the products they’re using in homes. “With increased prices from vendors, you have to be even more conscious about waste that could increase your prices. Another change she has tracked in her own company is 12 Digital Version Available at BIALouisville.com

a shift away from building for first-time home buyers, due to the price point, although Jagoe Homes does still build for that demographic in some markets.

“That has helped me a great deal. A male mentor can relate to a woman only to a certain degree.”

As she looks back on her career, she points out that she has purposely sought female mentors. “That has helped me a great deal. A male mentor can relate to a woman only to a certain degree,” says Jagoe. To other women, she suggests “finding someone in the field in which you’re interested, someone you look up to. People are much more open to helping each other than what a younger female might think.”

What’s been your greatest life lesson?

In order to advance in life or to be happy or successful, you have to make your own decisions and can’t blame outside circumstances. Take responsibility for your actions.

What’s your greatest indulgence?

I’m very into massages.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I think I allow myself to be intimidated by people who have been in the industry longer. I’ve been trying to overcome that but wish I could wipe it away.

What’s your idea of perfect happiness?

Having the mutual respect of people I interact with, whether at work or in my personal life. I’m happy when I make others happy.

Is there anything you regret doing or not having done?

I don’t have a lot of regrets.

If you were given a million dollars to help other people, to what organizations or which individuals would you give the money?

To a combination of homeless coalitions and affordable housing to help people at a lower income get shelter and housing.

Where would you most like to go on vacation?

Australia. I have been to a couple places in Europe but I like the beach and think it would be great to see the Barrier Reef.

And what would be a fun, last minute weekend get-away?

To go to New York City at Christmas.

What’s best about Louisville?

There’s a lot of diversity in the neighborhoods. And there are the amenities of a large city but there’s a small town feel with a southern hospitality.

Valentine’s Day is coming up. What would be your idea of the perfect gift?

I live in the Highlands where a cat café was recently opened. This is weird, but I’d like a gift to the cat café.

Finish the sentence, “If only…”

If only people were kinder to each other.

Peace of mind when it matters most!

Rebecca specializes in helping find the smart solution for families who have more to protect. No matter the risk, let us help you manage it:

Code Changes Will Impact BIA Members W.I.C.

LNDRY

The Department of Housing, Building & Construction (DHBC) recently completed the final legislative review process for the 2018 Kentucky Residential Code and the 2018 Kentucky Building Code. The codes are based on the 2015 International Building Code and the 2015 International Residential code, both with some Kentucky-specific amendments. The effective date was January 1.

According to DHBC, the Kentucky Residential Code is a “mini/maxi” code that establishes minimum and maximum building code requirements for detached GARA GEdwellings, two-family single-family dwellings and townhouses.

“The big thing we accomplished, which was a major win for our industry, was that a group of us across the state worked with the Department of Housing to go through the entire 2015 IRC and make our agreements on amendments to establish the 2018 Kentucky Residential Code. Soon, the HBAK will be printing this in one manual as opposed to in the past when a builder would need to reference two documents,” says Billy Doelker of Key Homes.

“Many of the issues do not negatively impact builders. Those of us on a task force met with Bob Weiss, Executive Vice 14 Digital Version Available at BIALouisville.com

By Nancy Miller President of the HBAK, who met with the DINand Department of Housing, we worked ING diligently to assess how it impacted affordable housing from a consumer’s standpoint and from a builder’s standpoint, and to make it palatable to both groups,” says Perry Lyons of P. L. Lyons Architectural Builders.

Doelker emphasizes that although the effective date was January 1, it’s important to note that the Department of Housing has said that if there are projects that are at some level of substantial design, it has the ability to permit them under the former code.

Don Karem of Karem Built Homes and Doelker both regard as positive the change pertaining to the need for drywall on joists in an unfinished basement.

The requirement for that installation of drywall has been removed from the code. “That was probably a good change because I don’t know how much time or how many lives it saved when it came to a fire. Although the requirement didn’t apply to a lot of my houses because of the spans in the houses, it certainly affected many people, especially builders of larger houses that have larger spans,” says Karem.

He calls out other changes as

important to many builders. One relates FOYER to the definition of habitable space based on criteria such as ceiling height. Another addresses safety glazing on windows that are adjacent to doors as well as at the bottom of a stair landing where windows BEDRO are located.

OM “Also, and we don’t know how this got slipped in, but they were talking about requiring interior bedroom doors to be a certain size. The HBAK and Code Administrators Association of Kentucky worked together and have submitted a code change request to eliminate this requirement and retain the 2015 IRC language,” he says.

Doelker cites a few other changes which he considers particularly important.

To allow for handicap grab bars to be installed, a minimum of 2’ x 6’ blocking is required around toilet, bathtub and shower units at a height not less than 33 inches and not more than 38 inches above the finished floor. Builders also need to pay attention to the requirement for fall protection on windows. “Basically, that refers to how high a window can open and is related to anything that’s 72 inches above grade. Also, under the former code, only one 36” exterior egress door on a house was required. The new

BAT

OOM

TH

code, as written, will require all exterior doors to meet that requirement. “However, this is being reviewed by the Department of Housing. Local and state home builders are lobbying for it to be amended back to the one egress door,” says Doelker.

In the meantime, Robert Kirchdorfer, Director of Codes and Regulations for Louisville Forward, has recently provided a modification request form that builders can use to address this matter.

According to Anetha Dunn Sanford, Vice President of Governmental Affairs of the HBAK, they have again partnered with the Code Administrators Association of Kentucky and Department of Housing, Buildings, and Construction to co-host regional seminars that will cover significant changes to the new KRC. The Louisville area seminar will be held from 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. on Monday, February 25 in the Ballroom of Memorial Auditorium at 970 S. Fourth Street.

Registration will begin at 8:00 a.m. For more information and to register, please visit caak.org.

The Kentucky General Assembly Kicks Off the 2019 Legislative Session

By Annie Fultz Dutton

On Tuesday, January 8, 2019, the Kentucky General Assembly began its 30-day legislative session, and BIA staff and members are staying on top of the issues that affect the building industry.

There are 32 new members of the General Assembly, and almost half of the entire legislature is newly elected since 2017.

As is custom for the General Assembly, it convenes for 30 days on odd-numbered years and 60 days for even-numbered years when the budget is included. The Kentucky Constitution mandates that a regular session be completed no later than March 30 in odd-numbered years. Therefore, the majority of the legislative session will take place in February and March of this year.

Pension reform is again expected to dominate this year’s legislative session, but there are a number of other issues facing the General Assembly, including: tax reform, medical marijuana, transportation modernization, sports gaming, and school safety.

Additionally, there are several policy proposals that could be debated this session that would affect the building industry, such as KY 811 Call Before You Dig, the building code, medical marijuana and workplace safety, and disclosures and regulation of Homeowners Associations.

The BIA is keeping a close eye on Frankfort and will continue to keep you updated on the issues facing our industry during this legislative session.

Member News

Inauguration Ceremony The BIA was pleased to attend the Inauguration Ceremony for Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer, Louisville Metro Council Members, and Jefferson County Elected Officials who were all sworn into office on January 7th. We look forward to working with you!

Glen Stuckel Honored

Shelby County Council

At the December Board of Directors Meeting, longtime BIA member, Glen Stuckel, was honored for his years of service to the building industry and Louisville Metro Council. Glen is a Past President of the Association, as well as Past President of HBAK and past Vice President of the NAHB. He has served on Metro Council since 2002, representing Louisville’s 17th District which includes 16 suburban cities and more than 30 neighborhoods/ homeowner associations. As a Councilman, Glen was a strong advocate for the housing and building industry, and a friend to the BIA. His voice on the Council will be greatly missed.

On Tuesday, January 15, Shelby County Judge Executive Dan Ison joined BIA members at our Shelby County Council meeting held at the Shelby County Public Library. Judge Ison gave us an update on county business and growth and economic development projects.

Judge Ison has been a strong supporter of our industry and an advocate for economic growth in the County. We thank Judge Ison for being our guest speaker at our recent Shelby County Council meeting!

As of February 7, 2019

NAHB Spike Club

What is a SPIKE? A SPIKE is a Recruiter of New Members.

What are the benefits of becoming a Spike?

The real benefits are intangible: You are recognized for your contributions to the association and regarded as an accomplished and connected member. Additionally, Spikes receive: • A coveted invitation to the biggest party of the year, the Spike Party at the International Builders’ Show® • Increased visibility, recognition and networking opportunities at industry events • Unique and valuable lapel pins for each level of achievement • Additional VIP treatment throughout the year

How do I become a Spike?

How do I earn Spike credits?

Before becoming a Spike, you are a Spike candidate.

That means you have earned between one and five and a half credits. Once you earn your sixth credit, you become an official NAHB Spike! Spike credits are earned by recruiting and retaining NAHB and BIA members. In order to become a Life Spike, you must have earned a minimum of 25 Spike credits.

Spikes earn one credit for each new Builder or Associate member they sponsor. When that member renews after his or her first year of membership, the sponsoring member automatically gets one renewal credit. Every year the member renews thereafter, the sponsoring member will receive a 1/2 renewal credit.

Spikes receive a 1/2 credit for recruitment and a 1/2 credit for the renewal of Affiliate members.
